Titanic
The 14th of April 2012 was the centenary the 100th anniversary of the sinking of the passenger ship Titanic in the north Atlantic.This podcast is about Titanic. I hope it will help
you to learn some new words and expressions about ships and the sea, and that you will learn
about "unsinkable" words.
(Don't know what "unsinkable" words are? Then listen carefully to the rest of the podcast!)
Titanic has appeared in one of these podcasts before. Just over a year ago, we visited
Belfast in Northern Ireland and the shipyard where Titanic was built. When she was launched,
Titanic was the biggest ship in the world, and one of the most comfortable and luxurious.
One hundred years ago last week, she set sail from Southampton on the south coast of England
on her maiden voyage to NewYork.
On board, there were over 1300 passengers. About 300 of these were First Class
passengers, who enjoyed facilitiesuch as restaurants, cafes, a library, a gym, a swimming
pool and a telegraph office which could send radio messages back to families and business
colleagues on shore. The First Class passengers included some of the wealthiest and most
influential people in the world. Most of the passengers, however, travelled Second or Third
Class, in much more humble conditions. Then there were 885 crewmembers, including
300 men to look after Titanic's huge steam engines and feed them with coal. There were also
large numbers of cooks, waiters, cleaners and other people to look after the passengers.
There was a cat too, with her kittens.
Titanic called first at Cherbourg in France and then at Cobh in Ireland before setting
out across the Atlantic. Then, shortly before midnight on 14 April 1912, when she was
600 km south of Newfoundland in Canada, she struck an iceberg. Slowly the ship filled with
water. The crew launched the ship'slifeboats, but there were not sufficient places in them for
everyone. Over 1500 of the passengers and crew died in the freezing waters of the Atlantic;
only 710were saved.
The sinking of Titanic shocked and horrified people in both Britain and America. They
were shocked that there were not enough lifeboats. They were shocked that so many people had
died, and that the families of many of them were left in poverty. Nowhere was the shock
greater than in Southampton, where many of the crew had lived. It is said that every street in the
city had at least one family who had lost someone in the disaster. Above all, people in Europe
and the United States 100 years ago believed in technology and progress. They thought that
modern technology and engineering could do almost anything. They were shocked to learn that
nature could so easily destroy the biggest and most advanced ship in the world.
The story of Titanic still fascinates people today. The wreck of Titanic was rediscovered
on the bed of the Atlantic in1985, and many items such as crockery and bits of luggage were
brought to the surface and exhibited for people to see.There have been countless books and
films about Titanic's first and last voyage, and theories about what really happened and who
was to blame for the sinking. In Britainin the last few weeks, we have had several special
television and radio programmes to mark the centenary of the disaster, and the film Titanic
starring Leonardo Di Caprio and Kate Winslet - a film which you either love or hate - has been
rereleased in 3D, so that the iceberg looks even more scary.Some people have even dressed up
in Edwardian dress and gone on a special cruise to the place where Titanic went down. On board
the cruise ship, they have enjoyed some of the food that was on the menu in Titanic's
restaurant.
